Hi, please include the book "Meet Will and Jake, Best Buds Forever!" this book was written by a parent's group and our Infant Development Program. It features best buds who like a lot of the same things and each have their own interests and strengths. Will doesn't care if Jake has an extra chromosome. It explains a bit about Down syndrome, talks about inclusion, shares the message that we're all more alike than different, and reinforces an anti-bullying mentality.

In reply to Sharon. Good topic! I don't think I've come across a picture book about food allergies.

I wish there had been at least one book about food allergies! It's probably one of the most common disabilities children face today.

In reply to Danya Banya. This does look like a cute story. I'll have to point out a few things here: the correct term is "deaf" rather than "hearing impaired." Also, I'm trying to understand how deafness/wearing hearing aids would be viewed as negative.

Please consider adding my middle grade novel No One Needed to Know to your list. It is about an 11-year-old girl deal with the pressures and responsibilities of having an older autistic brother. It has themes of bullying and special needs acceptance. The story is based loosely on my own experience as a sister of a brother with developmental disabilities. It was published by Schoolwide Inc. Zing! digital library and in print through Amazon and Ingram. It has won 3 literary awards this year for special needs awareness. I'd be happy to send you a copy to review.

In Jesse's Shoes is a favorite of mine and Rolling Along with Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a classic with a disability twist.

Great diversity of books to offer to children. A beautiful website to promote your products. I wrote "Playgroup Time," which is the first picture book to promote diversity and inclusion at an early age. A wonderful cute picture book to promote in your list of books on Children with Special Needs.
